217: Aligning Your Values with Your Daily Actions with Sandra Halling

Today we're going to be talking with Sandra Halling. And Sandra describes herself as a recovering corporate consultant turned anti-hustle, pro-equity, productivity coach. We're going to be discussing all about listening to ourselves, having an awareness, and then creating some opportunities to protect ourselves while we're also building our firms. And so it was just such an awesome fun conversation, but also one that helps you think deeply about caring for yourself and caring for your business so that you can care for your clients. So enjoy the podcast, and I'm excited to have Sandra with us.

Topics Mentioned:

• Future Identity

• Worthiness

• Intention

• Professional Balance

Key Thoughts:

• I've been working through a process of understanding what it really looks like in a regulated mindset. To be strong and kind. At the same time. Michele (4:26)

• The thing that I like to offer as a practical aspect of buffer time is that I think it comes in different flavors. If there's the buffer that we're talking about, which is space before and after vacation, that's one version of it. Another version of buffer is the space between meetings. For example, with podcast interviews, I always put 30 minutes of buffer before, so that I have plenty of time to just get myself settled, make a cup of herbal tea, grab a notebook and just be really ready and centered when the interview starts. Sandra Halling (12:53)

• I think one of the big things that we've actually been talking about or talking around without naming exactly, is being intentional with ourselves, right, because we first have to be intentional with ourselves to be intentional with our business. Michele (21:35)

• Goals, to me, are outcomes. They're metrics, they're clear, they're specific, you know when you've got them. Whereas a state is an emotional state. It could be something like I am brave or I am conscientious. Sandra Halling (24:23)

• The other piece that you mentioned, connecting from the head to the heart is, I believe that worthiness, enoughness, and empowerment are inside jobs. Nobody can give that to you. You have to give it to yourself. Sandra Halling (29:09)
